In the winter semester 17/18 I was one of the tutors of the smart furniture course in business informatics (University of Siegen) in the department „experience and interaction“ (Ubiquitous Design). On the blogpage of our workgroup you can read the full article about the course and see some more projects of the students: experienceandinteraction

This partnership could potentially lead into the first serially manufactured piece of furniture with a background in the “experience and interaction” theory and “aesthetics of interaction”. A design prototype was already send to Italy, so that by now the furniture can be industrialized.

For my master thesis I designed two secretarys following the rules of experience design and including the sensation of touch. They had been presented on the interzum 17 at the new platform called "material transformation" organized by the VDI.

Working at the Fraunhofer Umsicht in Oberhausen gave me the chance to get in touch with lots of different materials and textures at the haptic experiment platform (Haptikversuchsstand). The intended aim is it to create hapticaly better perfoming materials for the plastics industry.
